Premier League leaders Manchester City are packing
more financial power than any other club in world football, according to a new
study.

The Soccerex Football Finance 100, which ranks the world's
top teams based on both their playing and fixed assets, money in the bank,
owner potential investment and debt, was published on Wednesday.

City, who have dropped just four points in the league this
season, lead the way ahead of Arsenal with English clubs dominating the top 10.
Tottenham are fifth on the list ahead of seventh-placed Manchester United, with
Chelsea in ninth.

According to the study, Arsenal have £766 million worth of
fixed assets -- following their move from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium --
more than any other club in world football, while only Manchester United have
more money in the bank (£307m) than Arsenal's £300m.

The north London club also have the lowest net debt (£8m) of
any other team from England, with Chelsea's £800m recorded as the largest of
clubs in the top 100.

The annual report by Soccerex suggests that Arsenal have the
monetary muscle to "invest significantly" in the transfer market.

Liverpool are 16th on the list, while 2016 Premier League
champions Leicester are 20th. French giants Paris Saint-Germain, who broke the
transfer record to sign Neymar last summer, are third ahead of Chinese side
Guangzhou Evergrande. Real Madrid are sixth with their La Liga rivals Barcelona
only 13th.
